Wand their report hasheen sub
, ‘ illittedtothe supervisors' committee and
~ willhepresentcdtothe board of county
fathers today.
This report shows a total shortage of
the mounts of the treasurer. A discrep-
ancy of 024.100“ shown between the total
amounts drawn by Cashier Iawrdnce J.
Tunney for the payment of jurors and the
total accounts actually paid jurors be.
tween the years 1884 and 1893. This die
erepnncy is against Tommy. ,
This report was submitted to the com-
mittee on accountsof the county treasurer
of the board of supervisors last Friday.
At the residence of
street, it was said that Mr. Tormey had
been on a Christmas trip out of town
since Baturday. It was likewise insisted
that he will be back this morning.
Expert Accountant William Chambers
found Tommy short about .800 in his ac-
counts for the year ending Aug. 1. The
cashier lost no time in making this amount
good.
Tormoy went into allies the same year
that Treasurer Adams did—1882. The
discrepancies in his accounts begin. ac-
cording to the expert’s reports. in 1854.
They vary from 82,000 to 34,000 for each
year during a period of nine years One
of the supervisors, in speaking of the Tor-
_ may shortage. said:
Shortage Cannot Be Explained.
"It is possible to account for the short
ages in the treasurer's accounts on the
theoryof carelessness and miserable meth-
ods, but for the shortage in the jurore' ac
counts there is no explanation so far as I
can see except the worst.”
Tunney had complete charge of the‘pay—
ment of jurors. All the lists as certified
by the judges were sent to him. lie paid
the jurymcn. lie was allowed the utmost
latitude.
He would ask the treasurer or deputy
for the lump sum of several hundred dol~
lars, usually 8500. and to given achcck
for that amount on one of the banks of
deposit.
At the end of the year he made out his
statement and made it appear that the
totals received by him corresponded with
the amounts paid out on the jury lists.
These statements were never questioned
by the committees of the board of super-
visors
Since Tormey went into the oflloe about
84.000 earned by jurors has never been ap-
plied for. Accurate account has been kept
of this, and this was taken cognizance of
in arriving at the 824,000 discrepancy.
Tunney has been prominent in politics for
a number oi years.
Treasurer Adams? filsortage.
'l'he shortages in Treasurer Adams' ac-
counts began the year in which he went
into oilicc and continue up to a year or so
ago. Adams is under a heavy bond that
will require him to make the whole .90.-
000 shortage good.
The late Deputy Treasurer Gardner did
most of the signing of checks for Adam;
It is said that he was very la: in making
payments to contractors and officials in
advance. He also made the allies an ac-
commmlutlun exchange villas for those who
wanted to send treasurer‘s checks to Al-
bany to pay state taxes. Hundreds of
checks and stubs have been found made
payable mostly to strangers and simply
marked "cash." There is no record of
these in the treasurur's books.
The experts have also discovered that a
systematic method has been used to cover
up the shortages year by year when the
supervisiouul mnnmitice was making its
examination.
A plan was to draw a check for "2,000
or "5.000 at the end of the month on one
bank and deposit on the next day in an.
other. The effect of this was to get a
credit from both banks for the amount of
the check. Before the cheek would get
around for roller-lion to the bank upon
which the draft was made the account for
the first of the month would have been
made out, The supervisional committee
never thought of questioning the big bel-
anoes shown in this way.

Beyond this oillciai statement no oilieer
of the bank would say anything about the
matter. Carter was taken to police head-

Carter lived modestly in Brooklyn and
was much respected by all who knew him.

Consequently it may be, when not as

One of the moat vexing of the enemies

have once been permitted to form it is
quite a did‘lcnit thing to get rid of them.
Many applications are recommended for
the purpose: for instance: Bicarbonate
of soda dimlved in hot water, horas
water. while of an egg applied to the

The only way of getting permanently
rid of blackheads is to thoroughly wash
night and morning with water a» warm

for ten minutes at least in tepid milk by
the aid of a soft and very fine sponge.
Continue this for a month and you will
find that your skin has become pure and
